Umbrellas for rain and wind: foldable, storm or large models
An umbrella is a canopy on a frame that keeps you dry in the rain. This collection features models from Knirps, Doppler, Samsonite, Beagles and Reisenthel: from compact foldable umbrellas that fit in a bag to large family umbrellas with extra coverage and storm umbrellas with wind-resistant frames. Some umbrellas have a canopy made from recycled material.
Which umbrella fits in your bag?
A foldable umbrella folds into a small package. The Rain Pro Ultra Mini Flat from Samsonite is flat, so it fits in a handbag or laptop bag. The Medium from Knirps is available as a Duomatic, which opens and closes automatically, and as a Manual with hand operation.
Which umbrella can withstand strong winds?
A storm umbrella has a wind-resistant frame that bends with a gust of wind and springs back afterwards. The Fiber Magic Superstrong from Doppler is a storm umbrella like this; Knirps also offers models with a frame that can handle strong winds. Black is the most popular colour; blue, beige, grey and green umbrellas are also available.
How do you maintain an umbrella?
Let a wet umbrella dry open at room temperature before folding it; wet fabric can start to smell when folded. Wipe dirt from the canopy with a slightly damp cloth. Close the umbrella gently to keep the ribs straight.
